is there a cost for this Service?
-
Transportation services are funded under contract with the NYC Department for the Aging. There is no cost to receive transportation services through this program. However, there is a suggested voluntary contribution that varies depending on the nature of the trip requested. SNAP is grateful for any contributions provided but no one is refused services due to the inability to pay.
Suggested Contribution for Medical Roundtrip is $10.
Suggested Contribution for Food shopping Roundtrip is $6.
